According to Royal's book the address that ends in October 3, 1899 was used 1904-1911. I have a carbine on layaway with this address but with a serial number that denotes a 1913 manufacture. Should I be concerned or is this an approximate date? The barrel has perfectly matching patina with the rest of the gun. I don't have Murray's book yet but it's coming. Thank you for your time.


It ain't like it used to be but it'll do.
